Midshipman's Hope

A hideous accident kills the senior officers of the UNS Hibernia - leaving a terrified young officer to save three hundred colonists and crew aboard a damaged ship, on a seventeen-month gauntlet to reach the colony of Hope Nation.

He must save lives. And he must take them, in the name of duty ...

Challenger's Hope

The silent hell of deep space holds certain death for the unwary. It is the task of the U.N. Navy to defend the starways, no matter the danger ... the cost in lives.

An alien attack and an admiral's betrayal leave a wounded Commander Nicholas Seafort stranded aboard a doomed ship of arrogant colonists and violent street children.

But is he merely postponing their end?

Instead, he is pulled into a maelstrom of crisis, corruption, and danger as the helpless, unprepared Earth faces annihilation from a horde of alien attackers. Alone at the center of a cosmic apocalypse, Nick Seafort must face his final battle ...

And his most unforgivable sin.

And the cost may be more than even Seafort's iron will can bear ...
